Coughing and coughing and more coughing and it never gets better, I thought it was just me until everyone I know told me they had the same thing. Dr gave me some strong antibiotics that have done absolutely nothing.

Bulldozer, try the percussion therapy. It's what a pulmonary tech might do to help you expel the mucus. Look at my post to see how or look on youtube how to do it. They recommend cupped hands. It looks dumb, but might dislodge the mucus. If not, it's atypical pneumonia.

By the way, I think I posted this, not sure too many flu topics, but here's a website that internationally monitors the flu (in several languages) in many states of the USA as well as many countries.

There's hot topics on the far right so you can see what people are buzzing about.

If concerned about your region, you can directly look it up and see how serious it is, and many medical personnel quietly discuss things there.

It might be helpful.

Don't worry too soon unless we get more data or if we see some clamp down of security. We have some idea of what would happen because of lots of scenario planning plus incidents like the asians coming through Canada several ago (SARS). [link to en.wikipedia.org]

I posted this on another thread, but this one seems to be more active, so I'll repost it here.

Went to a Christmas party on Christmas Day. One person there was sick. I tried to avoid her, but you know how that goes.

3 days later, I became sick, along with her spouse, and two older people that were at the party.

I spent the first three days in bed, feeling horrible, and sleeping most of the time. Fever, congestion, achy. Pretty sure it was the flu. The fever and aches pretty much went away after that, but the congestion became worse, and seems to be moving up and down, between my head and my chest. I'm sometimes wheezy and crackly when I breathe, and can't stop coughing ... to the point of gagging and nearly throwing up. It's a nasty-sounding, mucus-y cough. I've been taking Mucinex the whole time. It loosens the junk, but it just won't go away. This is my 9th day, I think.

The sick girl at the party has been to the E/R, and was given antibiotics, but she's not much better.

One of the older folks "has it bad", last I heard, but that was a few days ago, and I don't have an update.

And the other older person who has it is now in the hospital with pneumonia, and seems to be declining.

We're all in Georgia. I don't know about the others, but I haven't had a flu shot. I do take daily vitamins, including C and D3, and try to exercise on a daily basis. I rarely get sick.

Im in Ohio a lot of people are sick around me.I started to feel bad yesterday I took a bunch of c and d, slept all day and didn't eat.I feel much better this morning.I had a metallic taste in my mouth, my body hurt all over and a slight runny nose.

Re: GLP How many of us are sick today ?????unidentified respiratory illness?????Post if you cant stop coughing!!!!

I'm sick for the third time in 2 months. I need a body massage, any remote massagers?

Quoting: pool

No all over body massage during an infection. Very bad. It could spread the infection. You can do a facial massage to drain the sinuses yourself.

Hot baths. You need them, not a shower. You want to encourage lymph circulation. Spoil yourself with a long hot bath.

Quoting: Don'tBeAfraid

Thank you. I was feeling a bit abandoned. Took the hot bath and it felt worse if it wasn't scalding water. I had no idea what cold to the bone meant until this morning. I was hugging a heater and was still shaking cold. My pits and legs were killing me. No sinus crap, thankfully. No appetite, fuckety fuck. The flu sucks. The "tamiflu" pills were over a hundred bucks, even with pharmacy coverage.

Thanks again. Hope you're staying well.

Therapeutic touch through massage is an essential aspect of healing. It was in the USA until 1920 when new people became convinced that purchasing a medicine sold from a pharmaceutical company could cure everything and medicine became allopathic. If you can, find an osteopathic doctor. They can prescribe medicines plus they give massages, will talk about nutrition, clean water, and exercise and treat the WHOLE PERSON. Not take a pill and call me when you wish to give me more of your money.

Anyone can give you a massage. It's not hard to learn. If people would get over the idea that touching someone was sexual, then we'd have extraordinary health and closeness. Think how close friends could become and no jokes please! The divorce rate would plummet. Wars could be averted. Everyone is so stressed out, and a weekly massage would probably cause an immediate reduction in SSRIs for depression too.

I've been very sick too. Two weeks.My roommate who is not sick at all takesJuice Plus vitamins and swears by them.I may give it a try.The Onion and Garlic suggestions are interestingtoo. May try that. Problem is any odor right nowsends me to the bathroom to throw up.

Re: GLP How many of us are sick today ?????unidentified respiratory illness?????Post if you cant stop coughing!!!!

I posted this on Natasha's home remedy for the flu thread:

Mother of four here - I use Thieves essential oil at the first signs of sniffles or flu like symtoms. Three drops in warm tea three times a day works every time. (I do give it to the children, but must be used with extreme caution for children under the age of about six.) It's very important to use therapeutic grade essential oils. I am quite happy with this brand and it is available on amazon.com at a much better price than other top brands.

I would recommend that anyone interested do a google search of Four Thieves Essential Oils and get informed. Do your own research! I have included a stockpile of Thieves in our medical preps just in case.

As daily maintenance, I include cinnamon and cloves essential oils (2 of the 5 ingredients in thieves)in my tea. They are very powerful antibiotics and anti-viral tools. There is no one sick in my household. Essential oils are also a great natural way to raise your vibrations.

I have this cough thing worse I ever had , have always been healthy , just wondering how big this is

It just happened boom is our air bad

My daughter lives on a barrier island in New Jersey where Super Storm Sandy hit. There was much destruction, but her home was basically okay. It needed some minor repairs.

When she and people go to visit their homes on the island, they come away with a cough. Perhaps mold or destroyed building materials are in the air. A few of these towns have given the people, with homes standing, the okay to move back in this week because the gas lines have been repaired, water is running, and electricity is available now.

They hit the fuck out of us with chemtrails before Christmas to increase the Earths albedo and induce colder more "Christmassy" weather.

The Jews (retailers) know that cold weather and snow induces sales by creating that Normal Rockwell type Christmas feeling, increasing the so called "Christmas spirit".

The effects didn't hit us until Christmas was over and the money was in the bank, and if you look at the stats it worked like a charm.. Kind of odd we had a white Christmas with 6 inches of snow here in East Texas and then everyone got sick as a dog, especially the way it came out of no where and the unusual downdraft winds we had proceeding it. They pushed the shit to the ground..

Re: GLP How many of us are sick today ?????unidentified respiratory illness?????Post if you cant stop coughing!!!!

I feel so bad for everyone that is sick right now. Seems everywhere you go people are coughing up their right lung or hacking away. I hope everyone gets better soon. Rest, plenty of fluids and anything to boost your immune system. I swear by Vitamin C and Olive leaf extract. Has kept me safe from the crud going around

I am allergic to stupidity so I break out in sarcasmWhen they said there was no Lyme in Florida they lied!

This may sound wierd, but whenever I got so cold it hurts (doesn't happen anymore), I eat something really hot, and I don't mean temperature wise! Hot foods, like ginger, cayenne pepper, horseradish or even garlic will not only warm you up, but, just happen to have healing properties as well.

So if you're game, take a teeny bite of a dried cayenne pepper, or make a cup of strong hot ginger tea.

Re: GLP How many of us are sick today ?????unidentified respiratory illness?????Post if you cant stop coughing!!!!

Also, eating "hot" foods will help clear your sinuses, encourage blood circulation when it's sluggish and you're cold, and encourage the mucous flow---which is your body tryng to force out impurities, sort of the same principle as when a boil or skin blemish encases impurities with white blood cells to eliminate them.

Re: GLP How many of us are sick today ?????unidentified respiratory illness?????Post if you cant stop coughing!!!!

I've been coughing up phlegm pretty much every morning since June. I thought it was a reaction to inhaling some water in the Dead Sea (you really shouldn't do that, it burns), but it still hasn't gone away.
